Celeste A. says, "As a runner, I have strengthened a certain set of muscles and along the way, injured other areas. Better Body Pilates has taught me to focus on my core and use it to harmonize my body when engaging in exercises such as running. Not only is it physically satisfying, but also centers me mentally."

Rick M. says, "After three inguinal hernia surgeries, for years I avoided traditional exercises aimed at strengthening my abdominal muscles out of fear of a recurrence. Consequently, I lost most of the strength in my core. Learning Pilates at Better Body, at my wife's urging, has provided a new approach and opportunity to strengthen my core. And, we now have an activity that we can do together, since my wife and I take classes together."
